One More T-IEM

It’s been three years since I first tried an inexpensive, wired In-Ear Monitor from China. They can be fiddly, but the sound quality for ridiculously little money is amazing.

For only $23, my latest acquisition is the TINHIFI HUO. This is my favorite sounding IEM. It also has the best case, by far, of any budget brand.

The Further Missed-Adventures of Cliff Booth

The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth

July, 1977: Star Wars is a sensation and I’m freshly graduated from college, working as a radio DJ. In a very different L.A. than is seen in Annie Hall, trouble is finding its way to Cliff Booth, as it usually does.

The Regal Cinema I usually go to won’t be showing The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth, but how about the two other IMAX theaters nearest me? This one is independent.

There aren't any theatres showing this movie near you.

Well, that sucks. It says there aren’t any theaters in my area showing the movie, but I’ll check the other place anyway. It’s an AMC theater.

Sorry, no showtimes have been announced yet for this theatre.

Grrr. Boston is the nearest IMAX location listing the movie!

Big Planet Silence!

Since retiring, I have very much enjoyed spending a few hours on Monday nights listening to Big Planet Noise, while chatting with fellow Planeteers as Beantown Doug. BPN was on WMFU’s streaming station called Give the Drummer, a phrase taken from a James Brown song.

I say “was,” past tense, because Bob Irwin sent me a note saying that Monday’s show will be the final Big Planet Noise, citing “differences in philosophies.” This sounds like a repeat of what Debbie Daughtry went through with WMFU management, leading her to start Boss Radio 66. Barnes Newberry had a falling out with WUMB in Boston, and landed on the Martha’s Vineyard station WMVY, where Denro’s brother is a DJ. Bob promises that Big Planet Noise will resurface.

There are other WFMU shows I follow, justifying my continued “Swag for Life” status with the station, but Bob’s departure is a very significant loss. If his BPN co-host Gina Bacon ends her Someday Matinee show, I will have to reconsider my level of financial support for WFMU.
